Pimlico's resident first story poet celebrates the suffragettes

Pimlico Academy’s student, Matilda Collins, took part in a writing workshop for Book Week 2018, with writers’ charity First Story, on Tuesday 6 February. This also marked one hundred years to the day when women for the first time were given the right to vote in parliamentary elections in Britain.

Poet in resident, Matilda Collins, wrote an outstanding poem about the Suffragettes, who fought for this right until they eventually succeeded in 1918.
